I heard this one type of chess varient, except it is played on a 9x9 board, with one extra piece for each side called the Prime Minister. The Prime minister can move like a bishop and a knight. It would be the only piece that can mate by itself. Pretty cool right?

I've heard stories about this, but not much else....a long time ago, too.

Do you know much else about it?

But, if the board were 9x9, wouldn't that make the Prime Minister's job a tad harder?

 That's probably why the "Prime Minister" can move like a knight and a bishop.

I think ArtLvr is right
